Case Western Reserve Researchers to Make Virtual Energy Audits a Reality
They receive ARPA-E grant to boost building energy efficiency nationally
CLEVELAND — Case Western Reserve University researchers were awarded a $1.4 million U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) grant to develop software to perform virtual energy audits of light commercial buildings.
In addition to audits, the computer program will enable a building owner to assess energy efficiency and determine the most cost-effective solutions to eliminate energy waste.
